Babies being Dumped and Abandoned in Europe as austerity wears on.....

As the euro zone debt crisis deepens and austerity measures take their toll across Europe, the number of young children and babies abandoned across the region has increased, according to local charities.

The rise in the abandonment of infants across Europe is most visible in the spread of “baby hatches” or “boxes” across Europe, where unwanted infants are left anonymously.

The phenomenon was previously more prevalent among immigrants, but it is becoming more widespread among financially desperate members of the local population.

The hatches are sensor-activated so when a baby is placed, an alarm is activated and a carer comes to collect the child.

The lack of respect for life is spreading deeper into the human population. When you have lack of respect for nature it is only a matter of time before human beings are treated like throw away garbage also. And it is only going to get worse.

the things causing the problems in the world are being held on to tightly and in fact increasing. For the human race is mentally, physically and spiritually retarded.

Surprise! To have a baby, you better be sure to have the financial support for it! And for all of you think that's just money, blah blah blah, materialism, whatever, you need to fucking feed that baby somehow and no one is going to give you bread for free.

People in America did, in fact, give up their babies if they couldn't financially care for them anymore in the early 1900s. Ever hear of the Orphan Trains from New York City and, to a lesser extent, Boston, that would take orphaned street kids or kids in orphanages and "place" them with families who wanted to adopt them in the midwest -- Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, etc.? Charles Loring Brace founded the Children's Aid Society and started the Orphan Train movement in the mid-to-late 1800s and into the 1900s.

There is no trusting the link you posted as we all know.I know there are real soulless ones living and they are hell bent on developing stories like these to make people think ' well if others are doing this then maybe i can too' MSM always tries some way or another to de-moralise humanity.You need to think before posting these stupid stories, think 'Am i adding to spreading this demoralising nonsense.'

If it truly is happening a such a high rate then we are surrounded by more soulless bastards than i imagined.

addressed like a people who have been sitting on easy street for a long, long time.

Do you honestly think that a modern human whom would willingly toss a spouse aside during good times would think twice about tossing a child aside when it became a liability rather than a asset used to collect a check, really.... duhhh.

Perhaps a history lesson is in order - please google, Danse Macabre. Time for good children and grownups everywhere to learn about their future.Get ready - it's coming.
